Soothing You~Growing Pain Salves (Part one of a five part peice on relationships)

There is comfort in knowing that there is purpose to a thing.  When we choose to believe that people and experiences are in our lives, or are exiting, for a reason, then we can derive meaning from it.  Even if we don’t yet know what that meaning is, the sense of knowing can bring us grace for what it is we behold.   If your experience is less than optimal, you can gather strength in knowing it has meaning.  The same can be true for finding purpose in relationships that may be faltering..

We have a tendency to run from pain.  It’s our nature. But if we face the pain and see what it’s teaching us, we become more effective at navigating through our lives and no longer ruled by what is bringing us discomfort.  When we step away from the emotion of what’s happening, we become objective.  And from here, we can obtain a clearer view of the truth.

We really do want the whole picture anyway.  That’s why we get caught in our heads trying to unscramble what’s happening in our lives.  The trouble is, from that vantage point, we just can’t get the entire view.  We can’t know all of the why’s and what’s and how-come’s of everything.  Such is the mystery of life.  And would we really want to know anyway~ don’t we have enough information crammed up there in that head of ours already?  The why’s and what’s are just details, just aspects of the entire picture being painted.  But the meaning we truly seek is far more expansive.  It involves a knowing on so many more levels.  IT involves a grander scope that doesn’t always unfold in the time frame we try to place on it.

Here is where we can learn to soften to what is attempting to unfold, and what will , in fact unfold, with or without our consent.  But when we become aware of what the experience is whispering to us, we let IT tell us the story, rather that allowing our minds to scamper around trying to figure it out.

Here we become one with our experience, rather than lost in our resistance to or confusion about what is.  When we become unattached to what the meaning must be or to the need to know the meaning instantly, we allow for the experience to breathe, and for ourselves to be fully in it, even when it may seem to be causing us pain.

Pain is a teacher.  And so you must ask, rather than give juristiction to it, what it is your painful experience is teaching you.  This is a soul-level question, and soul-level questions can’t be timed.  They are questions we ask with our hearts, and their answers find their way to us when we are most ready to receive them.

If, in allowing the process you believe, the unfolding of meaning can be a beautiful thing.

Remember to breathe and to soften as your life unfolds around you.  Even when it feels like everything is falling apart or away, or aspects that have mattered deeply to you are now distancing themselves. Know that there is a great plan at hand, and that on a soul level, all is perfectly divine and in order.

All in love,
